Claims

1. A mobile communication system including operation management of traffic machines, comprising:

mobile radio terminal means for receiving predetermined communication data, and which can be carried by a user of mobile communication;
at least one traffic machine for transporting said user having said terminal means;
operation management means for managing operation of said traffic machine by operation management data which are generated from predetermined operation data;
line management means for managing radio lines used by said terminal means on the basis of any one of position data and position change data of said terminal means;
data transmission means interposed between said operation management means and line management means and for transmitting at least said operation management data generated in said operation management means to said line management means;
radio base station means interposed between said line management means and said mobile radio terminal means and for transmitting radio signals of said communication data to said terminal means in a radio zone having a predetermined area; and
wherein when it is predicted that said mobile communication user uses a traffic machine within a short time, prediction data of use of the traffic machine is transmitted from said base station means to said operation management means through said line management means.

2. A mobile communication system including operation management of traffic machines, comprising:

mobile radio terminal means for receiving predetermined communication data, and which can be carried by a user of mobile communication;
at least one traffic machine for transporting said user having said terminal means and being able to change operation management data on the basis of a requirement from said user;
operation management means for managing operation of said traffic machine by operation management data which are generated from predetermined operation data, and for managing said operation of the traffic machine on the basis of said operation management data after a change;
line management means for managing radio lines used by said terminal means on the basis any one of position data and position change data of said terminal means;
a plurality of radio base station means interposed between said line management means and said mobile radio terminal means and for transmitting radio signals of said communication data to said terminal means; and
a plurality of radio zones respectively corresponding to said radio base station means, and respectively having a regional extent of a predetermined area in which said terminal means can receive said communication data from corresponding radio base terminal means:
wherein said traffic machine is an elevator installed in a hoistway penetrating through a plurality of floors in a building; and said radio zones are respectively formed by said radio base station means installed in said hoistway of said elevator and at ceilings of particular floors; and respectively being as a regional extent having a predetermined area of which said terminal means can receive said communication data from corresponding radio base terminal means:
wherein said traffic machine is an elevator installed in a hoistway penetrating through a plurality of floors in a building; and said radio zones are respectively formed by said radio base station means installed in said hoistway of said elevator and at ceilings of particular floors; and
wherein when a user of said elevator directs a desired stop floor by said operation data, said operation management means generates said operation management data on the basis of said operation data to control the elevator to stop a direct stop floor and to output said operation management data to said line management means, and said line management means manages lines with respect to said direct stop floor on the basis of said operation management means manages lines with respect to said direct stop floor on the basis of said operation management data supplied from said operation management means.

3. A mobile communication system including operation management of traffic machines, comprising:

mobile radio terminal means for receiving predetermined communication data, and which can be carried by a user of mobile communication;
at least one traffic machine for transporting said user having said terminal means and being able to change operation management data on the basis of a requirement from said user;
operation management means for managing operation of said traffic machine by operation management data which are generated from predetermined operation data, and for managing said operation of the traffic machine on the basis of said operation management data after a change;
line management means for managing radio lines used by said terminal means on the basis any one of position data and position change data of said terminal means;
a plurality of radio base station means interposed between said line management means and said mobile radio terminal means and for transmitting radio signals of said communication data to said terminal means; and
a plurality of radio zones respectively corresponding to each of said radio base station means, and respectively having a regional extent of a predetermined area in which said terminal means can receive said communication data from corresponding radio base terminal means:
wherein said traffic machine is an elevator installed in a hoistway penetrating through a plurality of floors in a building; and said radio zones are respectively formed by said radio base station means installed in said hoistway of said elevator and at ceilings of particular floors: and
wherein said operation management means manages operation of said elevator in relation to the prediction of a use of a communication line by said line management means.

4. A mobile communication system including operation management of traffic machines, comprising:

mobile radio terminal means for receiving predetermined communication data; and which can be carried by a user of mobile communication;
at least one traffic machine for transporting said user having said terminal means;
operating management means for managing operation of said traffic machine by operation management data which are generated from predetermined operation data;
line management means for managing radio lines used by said terminal means on the basis of any one of position data and position change data of said terminal means; and
data transmission means for transmitting said operation management data generated in said operation management means to said line management means:
wherein movement of said mobile communication user existing in said traffic machine is predicted on the basis of movement status of said traffic machine, to control said mobile communication at a user's destination before said user reaches the destination.
